When I am really stressed about something I will get a twitch sometimes. It can last for days and only started happening in the last few years. It has happened twice that I recall. Both times it just felt like a muscle contracting involuntarily.

The first time it was the muscle around my left eye, it would contract and move my eyebrow slightly, I found it extremely annoying. The second time it was a muscle in the left side of my neck, it contracted in rhythm with my pulse, and I actually went to the doctor thinking it was something else, like I was at risk for a stroke or something.

After a series of tests, echoes/ekgs and all that, the doctor said I was fine. That was when I realized it was a twitch, because it had gone away after several days once I was less stressed again.

I do still have facial twitching (like a rabbit),shoulder jerking and hand flapping/clapping.It is not as bad today but it was a problem as a child.

My twitches don't feel like what I'd imagine twitches to be.

More like a car trying to drive over a rock. A big bump in an attempt to continue moving. For example, when I try to produce a smile on command, twitchtastic. Or when I'm extremely uncomfortable, my neck will jam up as I attempt to turn it.

My face, shoulders, and neck twitch a lot, but usually the way they do and which one of those things twitches, along with the nature of the twitch itself, changes fairly often. It can be annoying because I think people may think I'm giving them non-verbal signals.

As long as I can remember I've had a muscle twitching somewhere on my body. Eyes, legs, elbows, knees, fingers ... sometimes even my tongue! They're generally small to be unnoticeable but for one thing. I touch and feel them - for example I might be holding my elbow if there's one there I'll also watch them if it's reasonably convenient. Yes it makes me look a little strange at times, but so what. It's no more remarkable than any other stimming! I've always wondered why this is such a constant for me. Any time I've asked a doctor they say it's stress. All my life?! ! I doubt that! My theory is that it's a neuro oddity which may or may not be related to autism.

Honestly, I've never known someone who did not twitch at one point or another.

After a couple of cups of highly caffeinated coffee and some energy drinks. Other than that not really.

I fidget a lot, tend to have muscle spasms and constantly shake / bounce my right leg (which I barely even notice nowadays, it's just become common place)

When I get stressed, often by being in big groups, my nose and eyes start to twitch.
